  Q: How to Properly Install a Throttle Cable on Chevrolet Classic?

  A:

  The replacement of the Throttle Cable starts by removing the left sound insulator. The cable of the pedal lever assembly must have its tangs momentarily depressed for easy removal from the assembly. The installation process should remove both cruise control cable and Throttle Cable if applicable. Detach the Throttle Cable lug from the Throttle Body assembly then stroke the tangs on the Throttle Cable before pulling it through the Throttle Cable bracket. Detach the Throttle Cable at its support clip while removing the cable from the vehicle. To install the Throttle Cable users need to direct the cable through the Throttle Cable bracket before pressing tabs into the bracket while ensuring tang expansion for proper bracket seating. Fasten the control cable lug to the Throttle Body cam then join the Throttle Cable to the support clip. Mount the cruise control cable when necessary before mounting the cable onto the pedal lever assembly while checking that both tangs have achieved full expansion inside their sockets. Put the Throttle Cable through the slot on the accelerator pedal rod before adding the retainer while checking for proper seat. Test the complete cable insertion into the throttle cam beyond retaining clips while monitoring the throttle valve positions during accelerator pedal use; check damaged or bent brackets or levers when wot position does not occur. Any routing of flexible components, hoses, wires, and conduits needs positive control measures to avoid placements within 50 mm (2.0 in) from moving parts of the throttle linkage outboard support. Reinstall the left sound insulator as the last step.
